Published on September 26th, 2009 by The Editor

Part Chimp - ThrillerPart Chimp may be aping (arf!) Micheal Jackson by titling their latest album Thriller, but its sludgy noise rock stylings are a little underwhelming.

Album review: Hull – Sole Lord

Published on June 25th, 2009 by The Editor

Hull - Sole LordThe kings of sludge best mind their crowns, because Brooklyn’s Hull are eyeing their thrones. Sole Lord is slo-mo post-metal done just the way it should be.

Album review: Stinking Lizaveta – Sacrifice & Bliss

Published on March 27th, 2009 by The Editor

Stinking Lizaveta - Sacrifice & BlissSludgy doomish riff-rock with psychedelic wig-outs, epic fretboard excess and its tongue somewhat in its cheek. Intrigued by Stinking Lizaveta’s Sacrifice & Bliss? So you should be.
